Innerworks Therapy Services

Innerworks Therapy Services is dedicated to providing compassionate, heart-centered care to individuals, children, families, and couples. Our philosophy, "Where Care Comes From the Heart," underscores our commitment to fostering a safe and supportive environment where clients can confront and navigate their challenges. We believe that everyone deserves a trusted ally in their journey toward mental and emotional well-being, and this belief is at the core of our practice.

At Innerworks Therapy Services, we listen, act, and transform from the inside out. Led by Kris Hull-Houghton, a licensed therapist with nearly two decades of experience, our team is well-equipped to guide you through life's toughest moments. Kris is licensed in Florida, Iowa, and Illinois, and holds several prestigious certifications, including Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC), Clinical TeleMental Health Counselor (CTMHC), and Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP). Her educational background includes a Bachelor’s in Psychology from the University of Iowa and a Master’s of Science in Counselor Education from Western Illinois University.

Kris’s extensive career reflects her dedication to empowering women and children, as well as her passion for advocacy, cultural diversity, and disability education. She has collaborated with schools, shelters, holistic centers, and mental health centers, making a positive impact across various settings. Her work emphasizes the importance of creating inclusive and supportive spaces where individuals from all walks of life can feel understood and valued.

Outside of her professional life, Kris enjoys traveling, spending time with her family and friends, and relaxing with her dog, Misty. Whether she’s reading by a lake or running along a sandy beach, her personal experiences enrich her understanding and empathy, which she brings into her therapeutic practice. Growing up as a military “brat” and experiencing different cultures firsthand has instilled in her a deep appreciation for diversity, an ethos she carries into her work at Innerworks Therapy Services.
